Hello my pretties,
How are you finding the sweet taste of freedom
after spending yet another year trapped between the four walls of education? As
father would say: “Schooooools out. For. Summer!”
Enjoying our glorious British summer? The time
of year when people are desperate to wear shorts and crop tops in the
wind and rain. Primarily in a futile attempt to capture some kind of evidence
that the sun was out for at least a second, as well as an excuse to expose as
much skin when half the population really shouldn’t. People when will you learn
to dress to compliment your figures, not to degrade them further! But hey each
to their own I guess. One signifant tradition that our bi-polar weather system is the tradition where everyone is doing the Okey Cokey with the washing – “in out, in out,
shake it all about”. For my international readers out there, that’s British
summer weather 101 for you. Who says kids don’t learn anything outside of
school aye?!

Moving swiftly on from fashion, or lack there-of, and
the stereotypical British trait of talking about the weather. Let’s get down to
business shall we? Now I’m a little late jumping onto this bandwagon…no pun
intended because let’s be honest I am one hilarious gal but that would have
been a little weak for someone with my suavity. Speaking of suavity, the band I
want to corrupt, I mean, introduce to you this gloomy day is unsigned trio
MISS. Now today I thought I’d spice things up in our little love affair by
doing something a little different to my usual reviews and interviews. Rather
than diving into just a fragment of an artists’ career and blow your mind with
intense details, I thought I would try an ‘Introducing…” entry instead. After
all, who wants to be stuck in a mundane loop, becoming speechless and redundant….totally
didn’t rip off Green Day right there…anyway. Here we are. Rebel Yell’s debut 'Introducing To You..." segment.

Right let’s get the statistics and logistics
and other fancy corporative words out the way first before injecting MISS’
venom into you. Born on 1st January 2015 members Marty Felton (Guitar/Vox)
Benjamin Wade (Drums/Vox) Wilson (Bass/Vox)
immediately achieved critical acclamation with their first EP ‘Do You Feel
Electric?’ and have since continued to climb further up ladder of success.
So I have a little confession to make. I was
going to write a review for their latest singe ‘Kinkajou’, but then after doing
some homework on them I changed my mind to review their debut EP ‘Do You Feel
Electric?”. But I feel so in love with all their work that I couldn’t choose
one! Hence an introducing page instead. Honestly cross my heart you will put on
a track, any track by them, and immediately will be hypnotised. Glued to the spot. Just
listening. Before you know it seasons have passed, you’re in the middle of a
zombie apocalypse and you’re more concerned about who ate the last piece of
pizza that you could have sworn was there only moments ago. Okay…even I’ll
admit that’s a slightly exaggeration…you remember that you finished the pizza
before putting on MISS.
Hauntingly mesmerising melodies. Dark yet
enchanting vocals combined with sophisticated lyrics. What’s more, although a
heavy reliance on electronics the arrangements are minimalistic, demonstrating their
technical and songwriting professionalism. Now the things I've heard about their live shows...well...that's information I don't think you could handle quite yet. But let's make a deal. Have a listen to their EP and single. Head down to the Hope & Ruin on August 13th and tell me for yourself what you thought of their set. Deal? Deal. They are one of those bands you don’t
realise how true my ramblings are until you’re on the other side. So join the
dark side. We’ll be waiting.
Until next time,
Unpleasant dreams.
Keep up-to-date with MISS:
